Following Rohith’s emotional eviction on Sunday, the latest Monday episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 10 kicked off on a high-voltage note with the brand-new nomination process. Operating under this week’s high-stakes ‘Reward and Revenge’ theme, the house turned into an emotional battleground filled with sharp verbal clashes, exposed alliances, and personal accusations.
The Fire Pit Nomination: Rules of Engagement
Bigg Boss set the rules clearly for the week:
- Each housemate was required to nominate two fellow contestants by dropping their photographs into a literal fire pit.
- Current house captain Trigun was granted complete immunity, keeping him safe from nominations.
With protection off the table for everyone else, contestants used the task to settle old scores and air lingering grievances.
Vamsi Targets Mukesh and Varshini
Vamsi was the first to enter the nomination zone, directing his fire at Mukesh and Varshini:
- Mukesh: Vamsi accused Mukesh of repeatedly hurting Jhansi with aggressive behavior and unacceptable language. He questioned how the audience outside would view Mukesh’s conduct and advised him to curb his volatile temper.
- Varshini: Vamsi cited Varshini’s late-night conversations, which continued to disturb other housemates’ sleep despite repeated warnings. He also brought up her past friction with Ram Prasad, questioning why she dredged up a first-week grievance on a card much later instead of nominating him earlier.
Sudheer Calls Out Vamsi and Aman
Sudheer did not hold back during his turn, focusing on consistency and motives:
- Vamsi: Sudheer recalled a past discussion following Mithilesh’s suitcase exit, where housemates spoke of valuing fame over cash. Sudheer claimed Vamsi confessed he would have happily walked away for ₹20–₹25 lakh, prompting Sudheer to publicly question whether greed outweighed passion in Vamsi’s game plan.
- Aman: Pointing back to the hotel task, Sudheer highlighted Aman awarding a star to Rohith as an apparent act of camaraderie. However, Aman’s subsequent comments pushing for Rohith’s eviction left Sudheer disappointed by the sudden shift in loyalty.
Shwetha and Neethu Master Take Their Picks
- Shwetha nominated Mukesh, critiquing his strategy in the ball task. She noted that a direct conversation with Ram Prasad, rather than lobbying through supporters, would have shown a cleaner game. Turning to Aman, Shwetha acknowledged their mutual support while offering constructive critique on his overall approach.
- Neethu Master stepped up next and dropped the photos of Varshini and Vamsi into the fire.
Mukesh vs. Vamsi: The Clash of ‘Temper Temper’ and ‘Mati Marupu’
The tension peaked when Mukesh took the floor. Mukesh targeted Vamsi immediately, claiming Vamsi lacked an independent identity and acted purely as “Trigun’s puppet.”
The confrontation quickly deteriorated into name-calling:
- Mukesh tagged Vamsi as ‘Temper Temper’.
- Vamsi fired back, labeling Mukesh ‘Mati Marupu’ (forgetful).
After the verbal sparring, Mukesh selected Debjani as his second nomination.
Final Nominations and the Road Ahead
The remaining housemates finalized their ballots:
- Ramakrishna nominated Mukesh and Neethu Master.
- Naresh voted against Aman and Varshini.
Key reasons that put the primary nominees in the danger zone this week include:
- Mukesh: Confrontational attitude, offensive remarks directed at Jhansi, and questionable task tactics.
- Vamsi: Prioritizing prize money over audience recognition, disruptive sleep etiquette, and accusations of playing in Trigun’s shadow.
- Varshini: Late-night disturbances and holding unresolved grievances from early weeks.
- Aman: Perceived inconsistency in his loyalties toward evicted contestant Rohith.
With Rohith’s exit reshaping the power balance in Bigg Boss Telugu 10, friction from the ‘Reward and Revenge’ task has sharpened rivalries. Mukesh, Vamsi, Varshini, and Aman now face intense viewer scrutiny as the week’s elimination race begins.
